  why do i say that ?

  because basically all they are doing and have done is poached off christendom who have paved the way before them .. with their missionary zeal..

  My BPD Sister Passed Away

  i have started this, then restarted it, and it still sucks to even write this out - but my younger sister passed away unexpectedly last saturday (on my birthday).

  i am going through all the grieving emotions, but there is more to the story that i could never and would never talk about to anyone that didn't understand the jw rhetoric.

  so...here i am.. my sister has had borderline personality disorder (bpd) for as long as i can remember.

  So sorry to hear what your parents and especially your sister has put you through all of these years.And as you know as time goes by your pain & loss will ease ,it will always be there but at least become more bearable.

  I wish you well and take care of yourself ,put your own mental & physical health first now.

  probably not new to many of you but i'm gonna post it anyway!.

  i went to a circuit assembly last week at the fremont, ca assembly hall in fremont, ca to be with my wife so she could be there to 'witness' the baptism of a person she "studied" with about 2 decades ago!.

  at the main entry to the assembly hall there are 3 or 4 large double door entrances.

  If I could have liked your post 100-- -1000 times I would have done so LHG , I couldnt agree with you more.

  While these religions have had their fair share of problems also in this world as far as their charity status goes they put Jehovah`s Witnesses to shame , who do nothing of any charitable work in the general community. And I`m talking about religions such as The salvation Army , St vincent De pauls , ANGlicare , Hospitals, Shelters for Homeless , Refuges for Domestic Violence victims , Food Stalls ,Workshops .Breakfast for the Needy and Destitute.Places for Alcoholics and Drug victims that need help that they deserve.

  And they do not judge you as to what beliefs or non beliefs you have ,they just treat you as a human being in need of help

  Instead of being kicked out on the street and told to clean up their act on their own without any help and then come back when your clean all by yourself and then we will accept you.Thats the Jehovah`s Witness practice.

  Oh , and if your not a Jehovahs Witness we don`t want to know you. Go off and be well fed .

  Wasn`t the real estate in Brooklyn the bulk of where their real estate money was tied up in ? Now that that`s all been sold or most of it if not all ,where else can they rely on a real estate windfall ?

  To provide the necessary moneys they are going to need in the near future ?

  Maybe the writing is on the wall for them .And its just a matter of time now.

  And that scripture of course would be Matt.24:12 I guess . "and because of the increasing of lawlessness the love of the greater number will cool off "

  Its not only the JW`s that speak out of both sides of its mouth ,the Bible is just as guilty.

  Zech.8:23 " This is what jehovah of armies has said ,it will be in those days that ten men out of all the languages of the nations will take hold ,yes ,they will actually take hold of the skirt of a man who is a jew saying ,we will go with you people for we have heard that God is with you people"

  As Jehovah`s Witnesses interpret the bible that is.

  Believers in God that can be traced back to the Bible Jews muslims and Christians both Catholic and Protestant.

  Muslims approx. 1.5 Billion

  Catholics " 1.2 Billion

  Protestants " 1.0 Billion

  Jewish # " 9 Million # Jewish / People -Faith

  That`s nearly half of the Worlds total population isn`t it ?

  How does that lot stand up with 8.5 Million Jehovahs Witnesses ,just who is God blessing ?
